I have - I can't find anything relevant. The archive search facility at 
redhat.com doesn't seem to return any useful results.

Can you point me at any docs that guide me through this process?

Such as? What should modprobe.conf look like? Mine just contains one line:

# Note: for use under 2.4, changes must also be made to modules.conf!
alias char-major-89-* i2c-dev

However, there is a modprobe.conf.dist file which has 165 lines. Should 
I copy this to modprobe.conf?
